Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Bristol's latest young RnB songstress explodes into our consciousness with her debut coming-of-age EP, unleashed with a full live band. Amri’s compositions meld the jazz-inflected soul-pop perfection of Amy Winehouse or Stevie Toddler with something that’s just undeniably…..Amri. This is definitely a name you’ll be hearing more of! "
